Yes, and technically you don't "buy" C++... you don't even buy (<--legally) it. C++ is the language, which you are allowed to know free of charge, you would be looking for the compiler (for which Catalyst has provided a link). Just wanted to clear that up Wink

And if you don't like Dev-C++ though I have used different ones and I like it the best - even over VC++, here is a site that has a list of some compilers:

I would suggest that this isn't an "over the summer" kind of thing. Visual Basic syntax is straightforward enough, I suppose, but that gets you nowhere. The APIs (Appleication Programming Interfaces) you can use from VB are huge and often byzantine.

A couple of good, "over the summer" (or even a few days) languages are Python and Ruby. Both come with an interactive interpreter. This lets you type in a line of code at a prompt and see the result immediately. This makes it incredibly easy to get a feel for how things work.

For instance:

code:
C:\> irb
irb(main):001:0> my_var = 10
=> 10
irb(main):002:0> if my_var > 5
irb(main):003:1>    puts "foo!"
irb(main):004:1> end
foo!
=> nil
irb(main):005:0> if my_var < 5
irb(main):006:1>    puts "foo!"
irb(main):007:1> else
irb(main):008:1*    puts "bar..."
irb(main):009:1> end
bar...
=> nil
irb(main):010:0> for x in [1,2,3]
irb(main):011:1>    puts x
irb(main):012:1> end
1
2
3
=> [1, 2, 3]
irb(main):013:0> exit
C:\>
C:\> python
Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> my_var = 10
>>> if my_var > 5:
...    print "foo!"
...
foo!
>>> if my_var < 5:
...    print "foo!"
... else:
...    print "bar..."
...
bar...
>>> for x in [1,2,3]:
...    print x
...
1

3
>>> from sys import exit
>>> exit()
